I seriously like this car. I do see red flags. What is that spaghetti wiring coming out of the firewall? Why does it have a Cali plate in front and an Arizona plate in the back. Should I be seeing heater hoses somewhere? Does anyone know this car?
Is the price out of line?

FWIW, I would seriously question what's hiding under all that blue paint. My guess is, based on the laziness not to at least mask things off (see door latch assembly for example), any repair work attempted underneath the paint will be equally soddy. It needs a thorough in person inspection. If the only flaws are those in the pics, $22K might be a good starting point for the seller but I'll bet you could get it for $15-16K (if not less) if you show up with cash and a trailer.

I agree the hood lettering is ridiculous and the exhaust tips aren't helping it either. The body colored kick panels look terrible in my opinion. The new headliner looks wrinkled as well from what they show of it.

100%. Also necessary to question the judgement of anyone driving around with a floor jack just rolling around in the trunk too.

Looks like he did away with the factory bulkhead connector and poorly spliced everything together.

Why does the entire front end look like an AI generated image? I know the letters are aftermarket stick-ons, but everything looks 'off'......... scope work confused

Guy (Luis) says he 'thinks' there is a 742 8 3/4 underneath. Doesn't know if it is a sure grip or what the gearing is. He said I should call him so he can describe how it drives. Sketchy answers to go along with a sketchy car. No thank you; I'm out.
